    DIY Foam Target

    Made this archery target over the Christmas break.

    It's made from Polytuf foam gym pads and wrapped with duct tape then clear duraseal:
    On the target side - under the tape - I used plastic cardboard (real-estate signage) which helps to staple the paper targets on.

    Here's how to make one:

    I used 4 packs of pads which cost just under $80 as I had the duct tape and plastic cardboard already.
    I just wrapped it in duct tape and didn't use liquid nails as he suggested.

    The measurements are:
    580mm heigh
    360mm wide
    360mm deep

    It's light but hardy. I haven't had any pass-throughs even at 10m with field points or practice broadheads (bow set at 65 poundage).
    I reckon you could make a smaller cube version of it using only two packs of pads for around $40ish.
